Obama Camp: Romney Wasnt Telling The Truth
The Obama campaign said a Boston Globe report Thursday proves Mitt Romney hasnt been truthful about when he left Bain Capital. The Globe story cites SEC filings to prove Romney stayed on as head of Bain Capital after 1999.
When Mitt Romney ran for governor and now as hes running for president, he consistently claimed he could not be blamed for bankruptcies and layoffs from Bain investments after February 1999 because he departed for the Olympics, Obama campaign deputy manager Stephanie Cutter said in a statement Thursday. Now, we know that he wasnt telling the truth.
Cutter continues, renewing the campaigns call for Romney to release more tax returns:

Cutter continues, renewing the campaigns call for Romney to release more tax returns:
According to the Boston Globe, and official Bain filings to the SEC, Mitt Romney didnt leave Bain until 2001. He continued as the firms president and CEO, remained on the payroll, and continuously signed government documents representing himself as the head of that firm. This puts him at the center of responsibility for troubling investments involving outsourcing and bankruptcies. It also raises serious questions about why he misrepresented the date of his departure, and whether he is concealing his tax returns because there is still more about this period and beyond that he doesnt want people to know. Its time for Mitt Romney to come clean so that the American people can make their own judgments about his record and his motivations.
